How is minting working? I can't find function that unlocks wallet  Open the debug window from the Help menu. Switch to the Console tab and enter the following: walletpassphrase "yourWalletPassword" 1000000 true
Replace the text "yourWalletPassword" with your actual wallet password  Your wallet will start minting for 1000000 seconds now. It might take a couple of minutes to update the status bar though. regs Thomas |

ok, 25 minutes after my post the next block was staked  It took more than 5 hours. Now we are back to normal: {
"proof-of-work" : 0.08434602,
"proof-of-work-next" : 33.73846943,
"proof-of-work-last-height" : 7684,
"proof-of-stake" : 1.21993671,
"proof-of-stake-next" : 1.98633043,
"proof-of-stake-last-height" : 12540,
"search-interval" : 1
}

hmm, the blockchain seems to be stuck at very high stake difficulty at block 12501  {
"proof-of-work" : 0.08434602,
"proof-of-work-next" : 33.73846943,
"proof-of-work-last-height" : 7684,
"proof-of-stake" : 11.45907726,
"proof-of-stake-next" : 5.43513587,
"proof-of-stake-last-height" : 12501,
"search-interval" : 0
}
I will investigate... regs Thomas |

Hi all, some discussion is going on, if we should replace the images on the web site with big icons to make it look professional. An example might be this here (when you scroll down): http://www.worldcoinalliance.net/What do you guys think? @fresher and SomeRelax: do you think you could take that task. Or maybe some other talented web designers are following this thread and want to help out? Please don't hesitate to reply or PM me if you are interested. We could talk about reward then... BTW: I'm about to add some real-time data to our web site: e.g. The current difficulty, total money supply of FairCoin, number of connected nodes, block height,... Also I want to take the opportunity to thank SomeRelay again for the IMHO outstanding, great logo he crafted! I see it all the time and the more I see it the more i like it regs Thomas |

yes, it took quiet a while to import the new private key. Maybe CGB should switch to leveldb? I created a new rpc-command which assembled the key from the fragments, inserted the new key into the wallet and finally created a new transaction that transferred 100CGB (subracted network fees) to a new of-wallet address. All in all, it was great fun!! Thank to the CGB team for that great idea and the bounty regs Thomas |

Just in case you wondered, there were 5040 possible combinations.  I patched the wallet to find the right one. |

Hi all, I just uploaded the binaries for the Raspberry PI. Get them here: http://fair-coin.org/#walletI'd love to get some feedback  regs Thomas |

Hi all, first, thanks for your appreciation! for those of you who are interested and your entertainment, here is the 'clone path' of FairCoin. I guess it is complete. I discovered the various coins during my current code audit. It's a further step towards transparency: This means that FairCoin was cloned from Cryptogenic Bullion which was cloned from Novacoin which cloned from Peercoin which was finally cloned from Bitcoin. regs Thomas |

Hi all, I'm happy to announce the availability of our new FairCoin Wallet v1.0.1. You can download it here: http://fair-coin.org/#walletOnce again the changelog: - updated OpenSSL library to version openssl-1.0.1h
- Further tweaked the build system (advanced build script by Chris)
- Fixed minor code issues
- now compiles on arm architecture e.g. Raspberry PI
- FIXED: hang on shut-down if minting was stopped before by locking the wallet
- removed bogus StakeModifierCheckpoint at height 95004 which would have caused that no further block would have been created
- now compiling with QRCODE
- added new checkpoint at height 10661
- updated alert and checkpoint master keys
- extended rpc command 'getdifficulty' to display the the current instead of the last difficulty
- modified rpc command 'getinfo' to display the last PoS instead of PoW difficulty
- IPv6 support is now activated by default
The Raspberry PI binaries are being built right now, this takes a couple of hours I'll let you guys know when they are available. I'd be happy to receive some feedback here. regs Thomas |

hi all,
just preparing the final build now... I'll keep you up-to-date.

Hi all, I did not receive enough feedback from the other team members yet, so we postpone the release until tomorrow. There are no fancy new features you can expect from this release. This version rather contains technical improvements to stabilize the network and fix minor bugs. Without our intervention this coin would have stopped to work at block 95004. It's a hard and time consuming job to find the spots where the system needs optimization and intervention. But I think we're getting to point now where we can start thinking about new useful features we could implement. And here comes the changelog for release v1.0.1: - Further tweaked the build system (advanced build script by Chris)
- Fixed minor code issues
- now compiles on arm architecture e.g. Raspberry PI
- FIXED: hang on shut-down if minting was stopped before by locking the wallet
- removed bogus StakeModifierCheckpoint at height 95004 which would have caused that no further block would have been created
- now compiling with QRCODE
- added new checkpoint at height 10661
- updated alert and checkpoint master keys
- updated OpenSSL library to version openssl-1.0.1h
- extended rpc command 'getdifficulty' to display the the current instead of the last difficulty
- modified rpc command 'getinfo' to display the last PoS instead of PoW difficulty
- IPv6 support is now activated by default
There will also be pre-build binaries for the Raspberry PI on our web site. The Raspberry PI offers the most energy and cost efficient way stake coins and secure the network. I would really appreciate if people here who own an RPI give it a try and post some feedback. regs Thomas |

Hi all,
I just distributed the release candidate of the new wallet to dev team for testing. Depending on their feedback the final release will be available to the public by this or tomorrow evening.

Hi all, We want to inform you, that a new wallet release (v1.0.1) will be available by tomorrow. Because an other major flaw has been found in the OpenSSL Library we decided to act fast and update our binaries. This release also builds cleanly on the Raspberry PI, which gives us the most energy efficient way to stake FairCoins. We'll put binaries for the Raspberry PI FairCoin Wallet on our web site: http://fair-coin.org/#wallet Further information plus extended change log will follow tomorrow. regs Thomas |

HI dev .Have you seen the slimcoin? we can use pob mode to our faircoin.
Hi zitaox, thanks for your input. Slimcoin does not fit well into 100% premined coins like FairCoin, plus I don't think PoB would add significant value to FairCoin nor does it make it 'fairer'. regs Thomas Edit: fixed typos... |

Dear FairCoin Community, we are pleased to announce the availability of the new FairCoin wallet. It is a major step into the new future of FairCoin. This release is 100% protocol compatible to the old version (NO hard fork). This means that nobody is forced to update, although we encourage everybody to use the new release to be able to receive network alerts. The old version will continue to work at least until the next release. Download the new FairCoin Wallet V1.0.0 here: http://fair-coin.org/#walletChanges: - Streamlined the build process (introduced gitian build system)
- Added the new FairCoin logo (thanks to SomeRelax)
- Updated openssl to the current version, thus fixing the Heartbleed bug
- Replaced the alert keys which allows the developers to send instant notification of critical issues to the users
- Linux static binaries (should work on most distros out of the box without the need of recompiling the sources)
- Easy to use Windows installer
- Moved the sources to the new location on github: https://github.com/FairCoinTeam/fair-coin.git
Known issues: - No Mac Wallet at this time (please let us know if there is demand at all)
We really hope this is a clear sign to the community proving our commitment and dedication to FairCoin. Kind regards The FairCoin Development TeamP.S. native speakers please PM me if you find any broken English or typos |

hey guys
who is "FairCoinAdmin" in forum.fair-coin.org?

Dear FairCoin-friends, I'd like to introduce a new Project which is in direct alignment with our goals; I'd like for us to be enlisted at CoinPayment.net To gain visibility and to allow FairCoin to be tradable on unlimited platforms, we need a 3d party payment provider. Luckily there's CoinPayments.net who has the platform that can be used to do exactly this. Having this will support our cause for integrating with FairTrade online shops. We'll make a fairly strong case then :-) We are an easy to integrate payment gateway for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin with low fees. Whether using one of our buttons or a full shopping cart our API is designed to be simple and provides a polled interface or Instant Payment Notification (IPN). If you have ever programmed for PayPal™'s IPN system it is just as easy. Voting can be done once per user account. They support a very fair goal, namely The Water Project. We're bringing relief to communities around the world who
suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation. I would like to ask all FairCoin fans to promote us at CoinPayments.net. Note: "Only one vote per person, any additional votes will only change your existing vote." You can share your ideas and comments here and on http://forum.fair-coin.org/index.php/topic,31Check their storeslist at https://www.coinpayments.net/store-directoryVoted! lets go with faircoin in coinpayments! Hey all! i want to remember this voting action in coinpayments! we have until saturday to make votes before the deadline. At the moment there are 4 votes, and we need to arrive to 15-20 to be one of the winning coins. This is a very important deal for our community, Lets go! I have voted, but in histtorique of coinpayment not seen faircon What you mean "historique of coinpayment" ? = faircoin is on the public vote list, and not on the already supported list... hello, how can we see the current voting. I find there is not how to vote faircoin. cordialy. here you go: https://www.coinpayments.net/vote-thanksregs Thomas |

Hi all, I just want to give a short statement about the Heartbleed bug in regard to FairCoin to clear up any doubts or confusion people might have. The Heartbleed bug is indeed on of the most critical bugs we've experienced since the beginning of the internet. But for this bug to be exploited at all some precondition has to be met. You need have all of the following configuration options in your FairCoin.conf file: -rpcssl Use OpenSSL (https) for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcsslcertificatechainfile=<file.cert> Server certificate file (default: server.cert)
-rpcsslprivatekeyfile=<file.pem> Server private key (default: server.pem)
-server Accept command line and JSON-RPC commands
-rpcallowip=<ip> Allow JSON-RPC connections from specified IP address
These options enable SSL encrypted remote access the RPC api of the walled (or daemon). I don't know a single person including myself who has configured their wallet like that. People who use this set up usually know what they are doing and most likely use Linux anyway. The Linux version of the wallet is almost always dynamically linked against the openssl library provided by the operation system. If your system is up-to-date, so your wallet is! Provided somebody makes use of these exotic configuration, which might be true for the wide spread bitcoin but not for FairCoin at this time, even then it is very very hard to get your private keys. And if you have an encrypted wallet (which everybody should have) and haven't sent coins since the last restart it is impossible to get your private keys! Long story short, the ordinary standard wallet set up is not vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug!regs Thomas |
